Server Module Specifications
Physical Specifications
The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module is 12.9 x 20.1 x 1.7 inches in a 1U form factor. The server module is designed to be installed in a Sun Blade 6000 Modular System chassis. For additional specifications regarding the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System, refer to the chassis documentation.
TABLE 1-2 gives the physical specifications for the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server
Module.

Depth 20.16 inches 512 mm
Weight 17 pounds 7.71 kg
Electrical Specifications
The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module connects to a Sun Blade Modular System, or chassis, which provides 12V main power to each server module, as well as cooling through fans. In addition to the 12V main power, the chassis provides 3.3V AUX power to each server module to power the local FRU ID EEPROM. This 3.3V AUX power enables the chassis monitoring module (CMM) to query each server module slot prior to 12V main power and 12V fan power application to validate that there is sufficient power and cooling to support the server modules installed in the chassis.

Server Module Installation Task Checklist
TABLE 1-4 summarizes an ordered list of tasks that you must perform to properly
install the server module into a Sun Blade 6000 Series Modular System.
Note – If the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module is inserted into a Sun Blade 6000
Modular System chassis that has SAS-1 Network Express Modules (NEMs), or SAS­1 NEMs and a Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module, the server module’s SAS-2 REM might hang. To prevent this problem, you need to upgrade the firmware of your SAS-1 components (SAS-NEMs and disk modules) to a firmware version that supports SAS-1/SAS-2 coexistence. This upgrade must be done before you insert the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module into the chassis. At a minimum, all SAS expanders for SAS-1 NEMs and Sun Blade 6000 Disk Modules must be upgraded to firmware revision 5.04.03 to allow SAS-1/SAS-2 device coexistence in the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System chassis. See the SAS-1/SAS-2 Compatibility Upgrade Guide (821-1800) for details on obtaining the firmware and performing the upgrade.
